Jul 15, 2014|

Saints fans are happy because Jimmy Graham agreed to new deal with the Black & Gold--$40 million for 4 years, 21 million guaranteed. Does this sound like a good deal for both Jimmy and the Saints? Plus, as players demand more and more money to play all sports, in the end, fans pick up the tab. Are you afraid eventually the average Joe will be shut out of going to professional sporting events? ALSO: The National Geographic Channel recently ran a special, “The ’90s: The Last Greatest Decade.” In your opinion what was the last great decade 50’s, 60’, 70’s 80’s? What were some of the great moments of that decade for you?

Sheriff Normand said “shame on” everyone who has been critical of his department not making an arrest the day of the shooting. Normand said that he and his department had a job to do and they did their job and that led to an arrest of Ronald Gasser.

Reaction to the arrest of Ronald Gasser, the man who shot former NFL player Joe McKnight after an apparent road rage incident and reaction to Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand’s press conference.

And I'm Bob Mitchell in pursuit to -- the fuel and take part of the show love to have you had 26 year old -- 7866889087. Before lay out. What's on our WWL talked table with a -- got a great feel good story for -- remember last night we were talking about. Things that women can do that men can't do well. Women can hear this story and law that's so nice guys you can't do that you can think it but he can't do about love right. -- -- Celebrated the hundredth year of the -- surrounded by her family and friends it was a celebration craft and with love which marked an unexpected milestone. A hundred years shall remember. We were still flabbergasted because. It's a miracle that her daughter Juliette. A miracle not because so few people reach a hundred but because. A year ago she was comatose. With a mysterious illness doctors couldn't diagnose. All they could do is -- for two weeks to live. We started making funeral arrangements everybody was coming to town to spend time with her and say goodbye. -- somehow recovered. And apart from a little hearing loss she's living well now with a sense of humor about her birthday. While she's not divulge it exactly how she managed to make a 200 she won't take all the credit either her advice. Trust the lord and do good at -- Buell says all right here's what's on our WWL plot table tonight. All of us saints fans are happy because Jimmy Graham agreed to a new deal with the black and -- forty million for four years 21 million guaranteed. I'm like you look at I can't fathom that much money I can't fathom what I would do all of that money. Now this is some liked it a good deal for both -- in the sings to you according to our online poll at WWL dot com 86%. Say yes. And only 14%. Say no and have a question for you. As players demand more and more money. All sports. In the end the fans will eventually picked up the -- Are you afraid that eventually the average stroke will be shut out of going to professional sporting events and if you are -- go. The saints game Republicans came what does it cost you -- go. To a game how much money do you at all often can -- ago. You have to sacrifice to buy your tickets because as one on the caller said that some you really love you figure out a way to do it 2601870. 866889. LH seventy of attachment to Bob I went to one game last season. Just the two tickets and parking cost 330 botched. The whole -- cost me 700. And no hotel involved with loved the experience in the dome but can afforded. More than once a year with five children four grandchildren. Dependent on me. 26017866. And nine point seven is probably what you. In just a second but -- -- lay out a few other things that we're going to talk about the -- The National Geographic channel recently ran a special titled the ninety's but last great decade in your opinion. What was bullet -- decade fifties. 60s90s. And shareware means some of the great moments of the decade for you in have you heard about this guy. And Long Island I mean I'm envious of okay. He spent a half a million dollars. 500000. Dollars to remodel his basement. Into the enterprise. Bridge now I'm a big Star Trek I am very very envious of the skeptic in three years. To complete it because he had the taken you know by the different parts and and and fine. Different props and war. To turn his replacement. Into the enterprise bridge that was his boyhood fantasy role. Which brings me to this question. If you have unlimited funds. On limited funds spent on creating. One special rule in your home. What would you put there. And watch all right I'm limited funds give you mine and a few minutes. Since I can't do Star Trek -- this -- stole my idea I'll give you mine and a few minutes but I'm limited funds. Think creatively. It could be sent in romantic it can be summed it outdoors be anything you want but unlimited funds. What would you create and year old home all right let me get to via phones that go to Scott calling for industrial power your -- Eight our show thank you. I'm talking about a decade -- like the sixties. I like a theater like promote. There's like Q yeah. And charge -- program. It did four years at that rookies in -- desert -- he's done it yet -- are you to do you go to the games. -- little -- not too much cost too much if we're. Caught in March from -- Yeah lifting I've I think that's what we'll more more people are concerned about that as. Of these. Players want more and more money. You you know that put the clubs have got to get more revenue. Then. If you're gonna get to the point that you know the average person can't afford to go to the games. On Albert -- pointed that out now you can go out of Beers and and now. -- or its -- Polluted our outrages. Asia's -- Euros realm of all. And you know this I don't know if there is another option because. We as fans we want the best players know what I have a -- of -- future of the I've talked about what for what the break. And they said that when you. When you give these guys all this extra money does put to a situation where they beat cancer on some other good players that's true but to win the championship you need more than good players you have to have as many exceptional players as you can possibly put on that field. Now it's got to be had a chance to think about if you had unlimited funds. Under limited funds to build a rule in your house. What would you build. Like they were elected dog and two car garage. I would just like they have cleaned house. A well here's here's here's Lima news I would I would -- in which on the blog -- Aren't. And out but I've dogs did it just out and what you and I asked him -- plant that little right. Yeah. Here's what I would do I would take it and I would build myself -- a small football stadium inside a house and one and one of artificial turf. I would have won the wall -- I would hope to be the biggest. Screen you can possibly by of course you have to behind death. And and great sound I would have stadium seating inside. My room artificial turf of course. And then I would I would I would have the roof. Open and close -- that. When the weather's good acted in I can open up my dome and and enjoy the game with the weather. And when the weather was bad like I I can close and and I would dog try to recreate. And he a stadium. Inside that there. We got big dreams. Is it that you like that. Betray you know. And I and I -- can have some states some stadium seats and there. But I can invite some friends over and heck -- I don't start selling tickets. -- write about it until it. I think it's done right it's 02 Troy exiles or -- ruling. I appreciate Cheryl thank you so much like our. -- element look at it for a couple or years pre wedding. Or why are all saying. We bought tickets. Right -- -- pay an 8000 a year. While. Forestry and -- his -- programs. Include your. Playoff tickets this. Food at the game sold or. Every amber industries this year as it. I'm not crazy about the -- food I must admit it's been quite some time so and so I went -- -- probably bill and maybe ten years since I went to a game at the -- Let's just say eat the food didn't agree with me too much right. -- We. Beat the pop -- -- buy it that you were aware. Game stop somewhere will go. In and out there. Here. If you all. You know on. Which has got to be true well from. Post and AB. Let's watch Monty being sick comfortably -- -- are trapped. Well I know I think it was. And it was one day last week I think. Deacon -- we're talking about. You rather watch the game at home or actually go to the stadium. I'd like going to the L -- -- OK because I have a buddy. Who I go to his house he -- -- he's got the tickets he draws. He's got he -- got a parking space they have a great tailgate party and I don't do anything but except go. Well. So. Yeah enjoy going to -- -- games because. Spear -- a couple of they're between our strength. And the Indy. Austria and bell really jeered at street. And outpatient care that you. Must first. It's that they're here in order atmosphere and hit some. Al Stabenow should tickets already correct. And it still enjoy listening to. You know quite so they're supported by its you know you got away -- on social. While -- I have a text message here and it says the average Joe's already shut out. Absolutely average -- -- shut out and I shut out after this year lashing out here. I'm not gonna do it again. What. What in your opinion is the last great decade 50s90s. And Yemeni memories -- many of those decades. Absolutely. Brook area -- portrait shot so art art book or all of those but -- eighties probably triggered. I'd like the sixties because that when -- John Kennedy and that's when we had the space race and the battle between us. And the Russians -- week we went to the movement of course -- A total science fiction. But shall from me it was -- in the courts. -- 401 when you think about the sixties that that's when the civil rights movement. Crying and a lot lot more quality game. -- -- a nation so and it it's such -- the great. Absolutely. Argued that colleges. Were sixties and currently our member opposite.

Took in three years to do this but he completely remodeled his basement into the enterprise. Bridge three years that was his that was his dream that was his -- room but made me think. If you had unlimited funds are limited -- and you to do whatever you wanted to any room in your house may need to do you know money is no object right. It couldn't make it super super romantic you can make -- outdoors -- -- can make it like mine I'd kind of build muscle up a little. Near the stadium and completely artificial turf and a route that that opened -- -- that but to watch good weather games with the sun shining and of one wall and and hire high Def TV you can do something I've never anything you want.

Got a text message from someone who says that we give. People like Jimmy Graham and Drew Brees all this money it keeps us from signing other good players and that's right. But to win a championship you need more than good players you need a few exceptional players. I absolutely -- a book four years ago. The opportunity. You. -- acorn back as well.

I'm a season ticket holder and I never -- much except ticket. You just have to be Smart and going to a game eat a forehand. Of a couple of Beers. Outside -- in -- couple bucks but come the election that's. Park little further away. For free and get some exercise. I'd like that alright let's go to it's go to. Tarzan is that right. Hello. Hello hello easier -- journey -- -- and start. How did you get that name. I got. Got. A whole old Bobby. -- com that are that are out of -- -- it. At the victory is something funny when it went well I grew up not you reverend remember Tarzan son. Boy that's right when I grew up. That's what my mother and dad called me boy they never referred to me by name ever. I mean I was 1415. Years old. In Monroe when my mother what introduced the -- is someone to traditionalists on boy and by his -- mom. I have a name stop calling me boy. But -- That's a true story. All right Mario now are you concerned that would all these high salaries that eventually the average guy won't be able go to a professional sports game. Yup so do I -- that you know hundred tickets -- courts there are strong ally. Such a band or stuff you know an average guy got to beat it wanna gain possibly. You know -- this season ticket holder -- and got it. Oh. I've heard of families pulling their money. And -- three or four -- is buying season tickets and then you know just the body what games each of family goes to. Right aren't well but it it -- out how you call were hurt the other well it that he contracts make awful. And the Obama on the concessions and ticket prices are sponsors. Right before I do not believe. I'll have to check with deacon Bobby but I do not believe. That the entire salary cap is only based on the money they earned off of TV I think that's part of it. By -- I do believe that ticket prices and just were you know remember they have besides the the players of course they have. The businessmen have salaries of the executives in the coaches and so it's not just the money from. The that the TV contracts. I know. -- and the makes some crow on the word -- Gore.

Well just music reports and just the altitude air strikes 01. Well about just we're a family atmosphere at beat that -- -- -- stop -- sale at digital out after seven and what litigating. I tell you remember -- somebody's also remember the oil embargo. And the longer lines of the gas pumps. I ran out of gas and laundry amount brought them. All of which are far away and we will look I don't want to talk eat yeah we get our air -- -- territories are now. How long did it left -- putt I remember the lines are remember him in a plan to get gas and I had a buddy of mine I had a neighbor. Who owned a gas station.
